What’s the problem with a movie based on a fictional country in Africa with native peoples from the continent being all black?
They should do what the comics did when there were complaints about not enough white people in Black Panther. Just start having Black Panther beat up the KKK.
That’s a great idea.
I'd watch that!
I don't really have an issue with it but that argument is kinda close to the people who demand that historical European movie have an all white cast.
I'm a PoC and I've never understood the complaint about historical European movies having all white casts. Tbh, I don't think it's a real thing, it's just a small minority of agitators who complain about it on Twitter. Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie series, and that's all white people and only three women lol.
It shouldn't be the only kinds of movies made. That's one issue. And alternative history like Bridgerton sounds fun, if they make it make sense, such as in Thor where Heimdall is black and the other guy is Asian, but they explain that they're aliens collected from a variety of planets and planes, and not actual Norse people.
That's because the people who complain are idiots. There have been people of color in Europe for as long as there has been a Europe.
Nobody demanded shit, though. It has a primarily black cast because it takes place in Africa. The underlying premise is inaccurate.
Also, black people have existed in Europe for as long as there has been Europe.
